Bronze Gate

Biodata

Background / History

On August 16, an unusual midnight storm occurs at the border of the Changbai Mountain range: it produces thunder but no rain or lightning. Nannan identifies the event as a possible long-sought opportunity, and Zhang Qiling states that the Bronze Gate opens. Wu Xie interprets this to mean the gate had opened and will open again. 10

When Blind Man asks whether the next opening can be predicted, Zhang Qiling cannot determine the time and says the group will need to travel to Changbai Mountain to investigate. Blind Man advises preparing cold-weather and climbing equipment before departure, noting that the gate is not going anywhere. 10
